GEARING.

No. 8s5,354. specincation of To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER J Lo- GUIN, citizen of Russia, residing at Wilkins-` burg, inthe county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania,` have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gearing, of

This` invention has for its object m'echanism for 'transmittingrotary motion from one shaft or part to another shaft or part in a novel and useful manner, and consists essentially in a peculiar construction, arrangement point out the novel features in theappended For a full understanding of the vinvention and also to acquire a the means for effecting the result, reference isto be had to the following description and Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved casing being removed; Fig. 2 is a verticaly central horizontal section,- Fig'. 4 is a detail face view of one of the disks employed;v and, Fig. 5 isa detail face view of the other disk.

- Corresponding and like parts are referred drawings by the same reference characters. In'the present embodiment ofthe invention, the same comprises a casing consisting With-ears '3 by which they may be bolted together, one of said sections being provided Witha pedestal 4 so that it-may be secured in a stationarymanner on a foundation lor the like. The respective halves or sections l and 2-'of the casing are provided with registering or alining' shaft bearings l5 and 6 within which the shaft sections 7 and 8 are respecprovided with -a reduced extremity 9 iitting 1n a socket in the other section, as clearly In the present instance, for purposes' of description, I will term the y'section 7 as the drive section, and the section 8 as the driven section,:but it is to be understood that these terms are used merely as correlatives.

The casingl is provided with a circular shaft and pref- Application filed June 21,l 1907. Serial No. 380,127.

walls, as shown. wheel l11 is mounted to roll on the track 10, said wheel being circular, but of a diameter less than that of the track. The wheel is' preferably provided,

with a tread portion corresponding in shape to the track so as to secure a pro er rolling movement with a y minimum o sidewise strain. The wheel 11 contains an eccentric 11, and antifriction balls or similar devices l2 may be interposed between `the eccentric ring 11HL and, its wheel, if desired.

The action ofthevsprin 15 ispto press theA eccentric and the whee 11' outwardly into engagement with the track 10 of the casing.

The wheel llis provided at two' diametri ally opposite points with laterallypro'ecting studs 18 and 19 fitting within radial s ots 2O .that are formed at diametrically o posite points in a disk 20a. At two'other iametricall opposite radia slots 20, t e'said isk 20- is rfovided with radial slots 21 in which the laterally rejecting studs 22 fit. Thesejstuds project rom and are secured to, and are formed on a disk. 23 which may be formed inte al with `or secured in any manner to the saft sec.

In the practical operation of my'im roved l points e 'u idistantfrom theA 13 and spring 15, the wheel 1l to roll alongA the track 10 1n a direction opposlte to the rotation of the sliaftsection 7. This motion of the wheel 10 will be imparted to the shaftl section 8 through the instrumentality of the disks 20a and 23, in an evident manner.

It is manifest .that when the eccentric,

after one turn-of the shaft, cornes again to its initial position, the said lwheel 11 will touchl the casing with another touched it, the wheel around its axis at a certain angle.

hile the accompanying drawing illus'- arranged to operate on the friction principle,

understood that the invention covers equally parts arranged in toothed relation as well as the parts in frictional engagement wlth each other.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. The combination ot' a missing provided with a stationary circular f track, a wheel mounted to roll around said track and ol less diameter than the same, an eccentric mounted within said wheel, a shaft journaled in said casino', a connection between said shaftand saidl eccentric, means for pressing the eccentric radially from the shaft whereby to, press the wheel into engagement with the track, another shaft journaled in said casin' r inalinement with the irst named shaft, an( a radially movable connection between said last named shaft and said wheel.

2. The combination of `a casing provided with a circular track, a wheel mounted to roll around said trackl and. of less diameter than the same, an eccentric mounted in said wheel, a shaft having a radially yieldable connection with said eccentric and journaled in said casing, another shaft.'ournaled in said easing, disks mounted Within said casing, one of said disks being secured. to the last named shaft, and a radially slidable connection between said wheel and the other disk and between the latter and the first named disk.

3. An apparatus of the character described,

com rising a casing provided with a circular trac a wheel mounted to roll around said track and oi' less dlameter than the same, a

`shait journaled in said easing, an eccentric' mounted Within the said wheel and connected to said shaft to turn therewith, means for ressing the eccentric radially from the sha t against the wheel, a disk mounted in the caslnibT and provided with dialnetrically opposite radial slots, pins secured to said wheel and workin@r in said slots, the disk being provided with two other diametrically opposite slots, another disk mounted in the casing` and provided with studs working in the last named radial slots, and another shaft journaled in said casing and secured to said other disk.

1n testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
